Last week I was watching a movie from an internet site one evening, closed the lid of my laptop and fell asleep. Then the next morning when I opened my laptop I had no wireless: "No Wireless Networks Found In Range" .

I ran a Linksys EasyLink Advisor check, and it diagnosis the "Wireless Radio Is Off"

I checked, via Fn+F2 function, that my radio is on. Wireless indicator light comes on/off as desired. (This laptop has no physical switch, just the function key)

I right clicked on the Wireless Network Connection icon in the system tray, and clicked repair. It disables then enables wireless network adapter, then tries to connect to network and ends up with this message:
"Windows could not complete repairing the problem because the following action coupld not be completed: Connecting to the wireless network
For assistance contact the person who manages your network"

I Checked the antena connections to the m-PCI Intel Wireless card itself, all connections are fine. However, I have not removed/reinserted the m-PCI card...yet

I tried windows restore to a previous date when all was fine, same "Wireless Radio is Off"

...I'm just shy of buying a new m-PCI wireless card and installing it to see if that would solve the problem, if not then return it and try a Notebook Card for the insert slot for accessories etc...

thanks for any and all help and suggestions... take care all-
ps I've been wired via ethernet cable since this has happend... unplugging and reseting the modem/router.. with no luck of wireless miraculously working.

I have had an experience like this in the past with that linksys software. The solution was to uninstall the linksys software and just use the windows wireless manager to manage the wireless connections.

It seems there is some kind of conflict between the two, and this is about the tenth time I have heard of people having issues with this software.

Thanks for the help, I'll go ahead and unintsall the linksys software.

I'm managing the Wireless Adapter through Windows, and with the wireless radio ON i click the "view avaliable networks" and get the "No Networks found within range" message.

I'd been using the Linksys Advisor solely to add computers to the router, check if the router is working properly, etc... NOT to manage the Intel 2200 Wireless of my notebook.

I'll try uninstall of linksys tho

thanks all

Yesterday, I downloaded Intel's management software and Manganed the Wireless Adapter via Intel's software (Not WIndows) and still recieved no netowrks avaliable, with everything enabled, and WIreless radio "Indicated" as ON, however linksys still says it was turned off.

GDPR? That's a regulation for the European Union. But, if you collect data from customers or employees within the EU, then you need to know about GDPR and make sure your organization is compliant by May 2018. Check out our preparation checklist to make sure you're on track today!

I removed the linksys easylink advisor software, rebooted, and tried to reconnect via windows wireless manager, AND then via the Intel wireless managemnet software, both with the same results: "No wireless networks in range"

In an act of desperation, I turned the laptop off, Removed the Intel m-PCI Wireless card, then re-inserted it just a few seconds later, ensuring a tight and secure connection/insertion. I rebooted and whadda-ya-know, "Wireless networks detected"

problem fixed for now
thanks guys again and take care till next time
